TIMEFORM VIEW Rejuvenated of late and, having quickened clear in most impressive fashion at Newton Abbot 37 days ago, he’s worth chancing to land the hat-trick despite a 6-lb rise. Star RatingHHHHH Official BHA Rating 143 HARRY SKELTON

BETTING FORECAST:

5-2 Scardura (IRE), 11-4 Hatcher (IRE), 4-1 Solar Impulse (FR), 9-2 Tikkinthebox (IRE), 9-1 Us And Them (IRE)

RACE SUMMARY:

HATCHER had loads in hand last time and is well fancied to complete a hat-trick acknowledging this looks competitive for a small-field event. Us And Them is a danger if he’s up for it and Solar Impulse can’t be ignored given the way he’s been performing of late.
